ABSTRACT: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease, is a condition caused by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries—the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. This occurs due to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques, which are composed of cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge regarding risk factors and its prevention of coronary artery disease among patients with chronic illness and to find out the association between the knowledge scores of risk factors and its prevention of coronary artery disease among patients. A descriptive research design selected for the research study using non purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted in outpatient department in Hindusthan Hospital, Coimbatore. Data was collected through the structured interview schedule by using structured knowledge questionnaire. Discussion was based on statistical analysis. Majority of the patients have average level of knowledge. The result reveals that there is no significant association between the knowledge and selected Socio-demographic variables.
